A few months have passed, although the three of them are not reluctant to let go of this Nanjia stone house, after all, they have been accompanied by ten years, but because they have been in the mountains for ten years, they are also excited to count the days with their fingers and wait to accompany the old man to spend a prosperous year before going down the mountain.

In the 191st year of the Canglong calendar, on the fifth day of the first month, three people, two birds, and three horses pulled a van car, and they went down the mountain. Out of this uninhabited traverse, a legendary era gradually opened.

In the territory of Xilang Country, Altay City, this town is in Xijing of Xilang Country, and it is the first slightly prosperous town that Chen Feng and the three of them have reached after walking for more than half a month in the east.

The two or three meters high low earth wall surrounded the entire city, and in the field outside the city, a three-horse carriage moved forward slowly. Because of the complicated personnel who are going to enter the city, Luo Wencheng instructed Zhang Tianyi to call the little one and two who are usually soaring in the Tianshan Mountains and will only fall on the roof of the car when they are tired into the carriage to stay.

Entering the city gate and walking on the main street, Chen Feng also sat outside the car and looked outside out of curiosity.

"It's a little strange, there are no people guarding the city gate, and the streets are so deserted, it's a town, usually there should be a lot of stalls and vendors on both sides of the street. Brother Wen Cheng, come out and take a look? Chen Feng had questions.

"It's kind of weird! There may be a situation, the wind is less and the sky is less careful. Let's go to the front and find an inn to rest. ”

A short walk on the main street, the three of them saw a huge inn sign, called Hao Zai. The scale of its building is also quite meteorological, and there is no second one within a radius of a few miles. So the three of them stopped at the door, but the door of the inn was hidden, and no one came to greet the carriage and horses. How can there be no one to entertain the distinguished guests! ”

I only heard a jingle in the inn, and then a sound rang out: "Oops, the little one is here, I'm sorry for the distraction!" ”

Then a junior welcomed the three into the inn, and then instructed another junior to lead the carriage into the backyard from the side to serve them.

After Luo Wencheng checked in, he looked at the slightly deserted inn lobby, where only two diners were eating, empty. Puzzled: "Little brother, is there any situation in this Altay City recently?" The streets and your inn are unusually deserted? ”

"Returning to the guest officer, I don't know the specifics, I only know that there seems to be a plague in the city, and most of the families dare not go out, and they are in a hurry to go out, and our inn is also deserted. Those who live in hotels eat less and drink less. Wait a little longer, the shopkeeper is here, you can ask the shopkeeper! ”

"Guest officer, you can go back to the room to rest first, Tianzi A and other first, second and third rooms have been prepared! If you need something to eat, this is the menu, you can bring it to your room, or you can sit down in the hall and wait until you finish eating. Xiao Er pointed to the menu wooden sign hanging on the wall behind the counter.

Chen Feng and Zhang Tianyi, the two foodies, pointed to the wooden sign and ordered a few dishes each, then went to the upstairs room together, and later gathered in Chen Feng's No. 1 room to sit down and discuss: "The plague in this city, I don't know what to do, wait for the shopkeeper later, Brother Tianyi, you go to the hall to wait for the shopkeeper later, the people come back and call me, I will inquire, and then Brother Wencheng, you can also go to the street now, inquire where the city lord's mansion is, and find a good passerby over there to ask about the situation!" ”

After a while, Xiao Er brought food, and the three of them simply finished eating and went their own way.

After a while, Chen Feng saw the innkeeper at the counter downstairs, a tall middle-aged Northwest man with a slightly fat figure, and the two talked: "Boss, wow, hehe, I heard Xiao Er say that there is a plague in this city recently?" I'm a little scared when I get to this point! What's going on, boss, do you know the details? ”

"This guest officer is good, it's true, but don't worry, this plague broke out in a small area in the garrison camp in the city, and they are all infected with some old and weak sick soldiers, just because no one cares about some old soldiers privately ran back home This is when the news came out, and people panicked, but I haven't heard that a large number of people in the market have been infected and died!" The innkeeper patiently explained, for fear of scaring away this group of seemingly generous customers.

Chen Feng looked at Zhang Tianyi and then at the door, Luo Wencheng had not come back from going out to investigate, and asked the boss again: "Oh, so that's the case, the source is the barracks." I don't know what the symptoms of this plague are, boss, do you know? ”

"It seems to be a headache and fever, the whole body is weak, oh yes, I still vomit, I don't have to last a few days, seven or eight days."

It sounded a bit like malaria or like the flu virus, but it was confined to the barracks and the old and weak, and there were many doubts, so Chen Feng decided to wait for Luo Wencheng to come back and discuss the next step. After a few more greetings with the boss, he went back to the room with Zhang Tianyi.
